Fishing Without Bait

In this installment of the program, Jim Ellermeyer invites Chris Whitlatch, a former guest, to talk about his recent significant life change. Chris discusses his decision to leave full-time employment and transition into life as a consultant and author. He shares his experience with Pittsburgh Foundation, his show on PCTV, and meeting Bonnie Baxter of DoorsOpen Pittsburgh, who inspired him to compile the stories that eventually became his book, Notorious Pittsburgh. During the conversation, they explore the reasons behind the emergence of vice businesses like massage parlors and speakeasies in Pittsburgh's history, and what we can learn from them in the face of present-day challenges. Notorious Pittsburgh is available in paperback or Kindle format on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3oJV5II, and you can keep up with Chris by visiting his website, www.christopherwhitlatch.com. Chris had previously joined the show in 2018 to discuss living with bipolar disorder. You can revisit that conversation on episodes 140, 141,
